CHANGE is welcome as far as Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma is concerned.
In Manila for a whirlwind visit on Monday, Kuzma shared that he doesn't see anything wrong with the PBA's innovation of adding a four-point line.
"A hundred percent, I think it's good for the game," he said. "It allows more space and at the end of the day, a lot of us shoot deep threes anyway."

The 6-foot-9 star believes the four-point line rewards a player's ability to shoot from a longer range, and adds more color to the game.
"It's only kind of a bad shot if you take a deep shot that far because there's really no need, cause the lines weren't there, but a lot of us can shoot from that far," he said.
Kuzma continued: "I think it'd be more dramatic for the NBA and fans would probably like it too, and Steph [Curry] would probably get more points."
A first-time visitor in the country, Kuzma said he's long looked forward to coming to the Philippines for a long while now.
"I have a bunch of Filipino friends, Jordan Clarkson, Jalen Green, and two of my barbers in the States are Filipinos, so, I heard a bunch about this place, I'm excited to be here," he said.
